«El factor humano» is the historical essay by John Carlin, published by Booket in paperback (344 pages, in Spanish).
John Carlin recounts how Nelson Mandela, after twenty-three years in prison, set out to disarm the defenders of apartheid and avoid civil war in South Africa. The work shows how Mandela turned the 1995 Rugby World Cup into a tool for reconciliation: the Springboks' victory united blacks and whites. The book inspired the film 'Invictus'.
The book was originally published as «Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation». It is the first volume in Booket's Divulgación collection. It won the Bancarella Sport Prize.
For those who enjoyed the film 'Invictus' or are interested in the history of South Africa and the power of sport as a political tool.
John Carlin is a British journalist and author, who deals with both sports and politics. His book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Made a Nation, about former South African president Nelson Mandela, is the basis for the 2009 film Invictus.
